The match was somewhat soured after fans in the away end at the KC Stadium unfurled a banner expressing their dissatisfaction with the manager, who has won just two FA Cups and no Premier League titles since 2005.

“There’s nothing disappointing for me,” the manager said. “I do my job. Look at the history of the club, since the club exists, and you will see that I have nothing to be scared of. I don’t care. I do not want to speak about that because it is always the same story. It is enough now. If you have any questions ask other people.

“Do you know someone who has won it [the FA Cup] more than me?” Wenger then asked.

He continued: “We judge the season afterwards and I’m quite amazed so many people judge it so early. We have not given up anywhere and you will see that in the coming weeks. This club has been in a much worse position than it is today.”
